Registration is open for Gendering the Book in the Long Eighteenth Century, a one-day conference being held in the School of English at the University of Leeds.
Online registration is available here: http://tinyurl.com/genderingthebook
This conference aims to connect scholarship in the areas of book-history and material culture to work on Romantic constructions of masculinity and femininity by considering how men and women in the long eighteenth century imagined their relationship to textual objects. How did cultures of production, consumption, and exchange contribute to the construction of gendered identities? Did these practices and identities change over time, and how far was the book itself a gendered object?
Scheduled panels cover a range of topics, including the literary lives of women of letters and the relationship between literature, the law, and textual materiality. The conference will close with a keynote address from Professor Richard Cronin (University of Glasgow)
The dealine for registration is Wednesday, 4 July.
